During his tenure at the FMC, Trogdon also served as an Attorney-Advisor in the Office of the General Counsel. Prior to joining the Commission, he was a maritime attorney in private practice. He earned his Bachelor of Arts degree from the University of North Carolina and a Juris Doctorate degree from the Vermont Law School.
